Primary 2 English Quiz - Grammar (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 30
Section A: Multiple-Choice Questions (10 × 1 mark = 10 marks)
1. B — goes
Explanation: The subject "My sister" is singular (she). For present simple tense with he/she/it, we add -s to the verb. "Go" becomes "goes".
Common mistake: Choosing "go" (forgetting the -s for third person singular).
2. C — played
Explanation: The time word "yesterday" tells us this happened in the past. For regular verbs, we add -ed to form the past tense. "Play" → "played".
Common mistake: Choosing "play" or "playing" (not recognising the past time marker).
3. D — are flying
Explanation: "Look!" and "right now" signal an action happening at this moment. We use the present continuous tense: am/is/are + verb-ing. "The birds" is plural, so we use "are flying".
Common mistake: Choosing "fly" or "flies" (using simple present instead of continuous for current action).
4. C — baked
Explanation: "Last week" indicates past time. "Bake" is a regular verb, so past tense is baked (add -d because it ends in e).
Common mistake: Choosing "bake" or "is baking" (missing the past time marker).
5. D — are doing
Explanation: "Now" and "Please be quiet" show the action is happening at the moment of speaking. Subject "We" is plural, so we use are doing (present continuous).
Common mistake: Choosing "do" (simple present for habitual actions, not current action).
6. D — was sleeping
Explanation: "When I came home" sets a past time frame. The cat was in the middle of sleeping (ongoing past action). We use past continuous: was/were + verb-ing. "The cat" is singular → "was sleeping".
Common mistake: Choosing "slept" (simple past for completed action, not ongoing).
7. B — reads
Explanation: "Every morning" shows a habitual/regular action. Subject "My father" = he (third person singular). Present simple: reads (add -s). Note: "read" (present) and "read" (past) are spelled the same but pronounced differently.
Common mistake: Choosing "read" (base form) or "readed" (incorrect past form; "read" is irregular).
8. C — went
Explanation: "Last Sunday" = past time. "Go" is an irregular verb; its past tense is went (not "goed").
Common mistake: Choosing "goed" (overgeneralising the -ed rule to irregular verbs).
9. D — is crying
Explanation: "Because she is hungry" explains why the baby is crying right now. Present continuous for current action: is + crying. Subject "The baby" = she (singular).
Common mistake: Choosing "cries" (habitual action) or "cry" (wrong form for third person singular).
10. D — are having
Explanation: "Tomorrow" indicates a planned future arrangement. We use present continuous for fixed future plans: are having. Subject "My friends and I" = we (plural).
Common mistake: Choosing "have" (simple present) or "had" (past tense).
Section B: Fill in the Blanks (5 × 2 marks = 10 marks)

13. bought (2 marks)

Section C: Sentence Correction (5 × 2 marks = 10 marks)
16. barks (2 marks)
Error: "bark" (base form)
Correction: barks

Mark breakdown: 1 mark for identifying/underlining error, 1 mark for correct verb form.
17. drawing (2 marks)
Error: "draw" (base form after "is")
Correction: drawing
Explanation: "is" + verb-ing = present continuous. The -ing form of "draw" is drawing (drop 'e' before adding -ing? No, "draw" ends in 'w', just add -ing).
Mark breakdown: 1 mark for identifying/underlining error, 1 mark for correct -ing form.
18. went (2 marks)
Error: "goed" (incorrect past form)
Correction: went
Explanation: "Go" is an irregular verb. Past tense = went. "Goed" is a common overgeneralisation error.
Mark breakdown: 1 mark for identifying/underlining error, 1 mark for correct irregular past form.
19. plays (2 marks)
Error: "play" (base form)
Correction: plays

Mark breakdown: 1 mark for identifying/underlining error, 1 mark for correct verb form.
20. were (2 marks)
Error: "was" (singular past be)
Correction: were
Explanation: Subject "The children" = they (plural). Past tense of be for plural = were. "Was" is only for singular (I/he/she/it).
Mark breakdown: 1 mark for identifying/underlining error, 1 mark for correct past be verb.
Total: 30 marks
